Dinuba Unified

The Dinuba Unified School District in California serves students from 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools, including a continuation high school.

Dinuba High School stands out as the largest high school in the district, with a strong 95.3% four-year graduation rate and a relatively low 1.9% dropout rate. However, its test scores are slightly below the state average. In contrast, Ronald Reagan Academy, a small high school, has the lowest performance in the district, with only 15% of 11th graders proficient in ELA and 0% proficient in Math, as well as a low 58.5% four-year graduation rate and a high 15.4% dropout rate.

Jefferson Elementary is a standout school, with the highest ELA proficiency rates in the district, at 67.68% of 6th graders scoring proficient or better. However, the district as a whole struggles with low test scores, with the 11th grade ELA proficiency rate at 54.88% and the Math proficiency rate at 21.91%, both below the state averages. Chronic absenteeism is also a major concern, ranging from 17.6% at Washington Intermediate to 89% at Sierra Vista High (Continuation).
